Coach Talk

Mike Ekans
It just cannot be overstated how critical tight wins like this are for team chemistry. Persevering through the toughest of times and triumphing in the face of adversity... expect the Mike Ekans locker room to really gel entering Week 16.
The Eli Face
A single missed field goal usually isn't cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Ryan Succop went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and The Eli Face lost the matchup by 1.4 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
